Dubuque, IA 61025

Across the Mississippi River lies the Julien Dubuque Bridge. It is a visually-stunning link between the cities of Dubuque, Iowa and East Dubuque, Illinois. The structure is 6400 foot (594.57 meters) long, was built during the World War II, and still stands strong. In order to serve the purpose of war, thousands of tons of steel and concrete have gone into its making. The bridge stands about 65 foot (6.03 meters) above the water level. In 1943, it was honored for its beauty and design.
